Bath repair for Gyffin homes

How we handle bath repair in Gyffin

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We’re often asked to fix chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gyffin

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gyffin use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

FAQs for Gyffin

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

When to call us in Gyffin

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
